volts. it was the lowest turnout for presidential contest since he is law. make republic was founded with less than half of eligible voters casting bounce to in other news. us president joe biden has described his recent debate with donald trump as a bad episode and is vowing to stay in the presidential, which calls for binding to step aside. have been growing since the debate with concerns about his health and fitness for office and interview with us media bite and said he was feeling terrible due to a cold. and that the debate showing was nobody's fault. but here, joe biden is in damage control mode coming out, swinging at his legs, his campaign of into the front foot of the question on so many mines probably her last we can say is my best performance

whatever size that has been a lot of speculation. we're still going to do, you're going to stay in the room, drop out what you're going to do here. what are the, what again biden's defined speech was a far cry from his debate performance with donald trump, which had seemed shots way through the democratic candidate, a $100.00 event. more if we finally b, medicare taken president and president trump. it was right. he did beat medicaid, made it to death that is destroying medicare. rather good discussion over the shaky showing is not going away in an exclusive interview with abc using ca, george stephanopoulos present in bite and trying to a late fee. is that up? so no, any keys, any serious condition. i was exhausted. i do listen to my instincts in terms of parents and as

a bad night because my reception was feeling terrible. matter of fact, the docs with me, i asked if they did a cobra test to try and figure out what's wrong to do the test to see whether or not i had some infection. you know, a virus, i didn't just had a really bad cold. and did you ever watch the debate afterwards? i don't think i did, says the end of the biden has pointed to trump's repeated lives during the debate, and has labeled from who is a convicted felon, a one man crime wave. but that doesn't appear to have stemmed growing consumes, at least for house democrats have called for biden to sleep down. speculation surrounds a possible replacement vice president coming to harris and california governor get a new some are among names being bandied about. but vitamin c is he is the most qualified person to beat donald trump, them november's election,

and remains at him. he will not be leaving the race doubling back now to our lead story elections in iran. we are joined now by all the for to learn their job is founder and director of the center for middle east in global order. he is joining me, live from berlin again, must sued, possessed in a runs. only reformers candidate has won the latest presidential election. how significant is this for ron? as i think, 1st of all, we have to note the fact that a majority of the ones did not participate in this round of elections and the 1st rounds, the official rates. uh there was the mouse was 40 percent this time around around you know, almost 50 percent. and again, those are official figures. so when i was asked to the counsel of it. and secondly, it shows that there has been some, you know, support for

a position that could be interpreted as a kind of protest vote against a power centers if you're wrong. and the supreme leader and the urgency side jelly has contender, was basically a re on part the reincarnation of this hotline, a stance within the center of power in the wrong and potentially some, you know, very, very social base of the reforms also cast that about for him, so this explains why he has one you know, people might be curious about what difference of reformers can actually make in iran, given that the last word, if you will, comes from the nation's conservative supreme leader. as absolutely, there is a lot of confusion in the west when it comes to our soul reformers or reform is within the song of the public a wrong the most in most cases, noise figure is

a glorified there, misinterpreted as to be, you know, monterey is, or to be really willing to embark on a, on a, on a path to reform. whereas as you suggest, um you know, the power centers are still there and so they have not changed. is the supreme leader out in harmony? you see? so hold office, which is a course our parent little compliment a plus plus the some role she got court and business john, even within the reform is kind of, he's a super loyal loyalist visa v. this a pa sensor. so in other words, whatever you guys plan to the wrong people during the campaign season to bring your balance is more than questionable because he's not the one who's deciding. but he will deal with that. he will be the one who's implementing any kinds of decisions. beach and certainly the next generally if that is decided by the so, so i just wanna, i'm so sorry to interrupt you, but i just want to be clear about this. are you saying that he's effectively

a reform is in name only that he wouldn't actually be in a position to effectuate change on the ground or yeah, the thing is that we don't have the, you know, good understanding what reform is a means within the confines of the song republic and those reformers. and this is why they've lost a lot of popular legitimacy over the last decade and more because they have not been looking for ways to really push for change. so i mean, at best they can be explained as a very loyal opposition, but even the, you know, the name opposition would not be fitting. so no, those are not reformers. those are not before reformers, according to this sense of the world that we normally would, is uh with would take for grant. let's talk briefly about external policies. how much of a difference will this make on some key questions for iran, ranging from nuclear issues, to complex in the middle east,

or the looker issue and relations with the united states. um, but also he runs a regional policies, are all decided by the supreme leader and to the san grocery guard square and not by the president. so it is not going to change the president going to be probably a nicer face. are these of these specially the west? so this may be also part of the cop calculation from the power center to allow them to run in the 1st place. so that the reform is, presidents can, uh, can a word of some pressure from the west on the quiet uh, you know, quite advantages for the power center and for the condemnation of your running policies as we've seen it. so this may be also some of you know, part of the calculation from the power center to allow them to run, to,

to portray this kind of misleading a, you know, image a positive image, especially to the west. our thanks to all the fact all of new shot founder and director of the center for middle east and global border again many thank sir. thank you. now to some of the other stories making news around the world, at this hour, you leaders have criticize your visit to moscow by hungry as a prime minister of victor, or the where he met russian president vladimir putin is the 1st visit to russia by european liter since the early stages of russia's invasion of ukraine organ says, he was there to discuss that potential piece deal shortly after visiting ukraine. hurricane barrel has left mexico's your content peninsula mostly unscathed. after making land fall there, as a category to storm. the hurricane is now headed for texas, and is expected to pick up intensity in the gulf of mexico barrel began as a category 5 hurricane and has left
